The pressure built up against the cell wall of a plant cell due to diffusion of water causes the cell to become _________(a) flaccid(b) turgid(c) plasmolysed(d) imbibedI got this question in an internship interview.Question is taken from Plant-Water Relations-2 topic in section Transport in Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (b) turgid

The best I can explain: In HYPOTONIC solution, water enters into the resulting in pressure being developed against the wall and the cell BECOMES turgid. The cell becomes flaccid in isotonic solution, plasmolysed in hypertonic solution and imbibed when imbibition TAKES place which is ALSO a kind of hypotonic solution ACTIVITY.
